Here are the updates to SwiftUI from 2022 to 2024 based on the WWDC sessions:

2024 Updates

  1. Interoperability and Animations:

    • SwiftUI now shares more common foundations with UIKit and AppKit, allowing for better interoperability. Gesture recognition has been factored out of UIKit, enabling the use of gesture recognizers in SwiftUI views. Animations have also been factored out, allowing for custom animations on UIKit or AppKit views driven by SwiftUI (Platforms State of the Union).
  2. Graphics and Scrolling Enhancements:

    • New graphics capabilities include a mix modifier on colors and precompiled shaders to avoid frame drops. There are new APIs for scroll views, allowing for more control over scroll positions and visibility changes (What’s new in SwiftUI).
  3. Swift 6 Language Mode:

    • SwiftUI has improved its APIs to adopt the new Swift 6 language mode, which includes compile-time data race safety. Views in SwiftUI are now evaluated on the main actor by default (What’s new in SwiftUI).
  4. Custom Containers and Mesh Gradients:

  5. TabView and Sidebar Enhancements:
